Thermonuclear Art

It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video presents the dance of the ultra-hot material on our life-giving star in extraordinary detail, offering an intimate view of the grand forces of the solar system.

40 days and 40 nights has always been a favorite with the exception of the rape scene taps the end. And it's a little scary how many women don't consider that rape. We tell our daughters how to avoid being raped and we tell our sons how not to rape (I do anyway. Well, my boys. I don't have a daughter). I also made sure to tell my boys how to avoid being raped. They were confused. They didn't believe men could be raped. I used this scene to help explain that, while this particular situation isn't likely to come up, men can be forced. All over there are posts about changing the rape conversation with our kids but half of that new conversation is still missing for way too many young people.

Her insides do what?

Sunday at the grocery store my 10 yr old stepson asked why we needed feminine pads. Having been a single mom to two boys for most of the last 19 years, I'd already experienced the joy of answering that one so I let his dad handle it. While the explanation was technically correct I was left picturing a self-cleaning oven bleeding all over the place. I'm not sure what the boy got out of it but, judging by the look on his face, it wasn't an accurate idea of menstruation.

Dreams

When I was younger I wanted to be a photographer. I wanted to take beautiful, important pictures. Now I have an office job and four kids and some people say I gave up on my dream. Truth is, I'm living it. Everyday I get to work with gorgeous, moody models. I don't travel to exotic locations or make lots of money, but that's OK. I take beautiful (sometimes awful, depending on how cooperative they are feeling) pictures everyday of the most important people in the world to me. The dream changed and grew, but I'm living it.

Eye-witness account.

So she wasn’t being rude and disrespectful? I swear the media will always twist the story and make black people the aggressor

Atena Farghadani is a 28-year-old Iranian artist. She was recently sentenced to 12 years and 9 months in prison for drawing a cartoon.

This cartoon, that she posted on her Facebook page last year, depicts members of the Iranian parliament as animals. It was drawn in protest of new legislature in Iran that will restrict access to contraception and criminalise voluntary sterilisation. Atena’s charges include ‘spreading propaganda against the system’ and ‘insulting members of parliament through paintings’.

Last August, 12 members of the elite Revolutionary Guard came to Atena’s house, blindfolded her and took her to the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran. According to Amnesty International:

“While in prison last year, Atena flattened paper cups to use them as a surface to paint on. When the prison guards realised what she had been doing, they confiscated her paintings and stopped giving her paper cups. When Atena found some cups in the bathroom, she smuggled them into her cell. Soon after, she was beaten by prison guards, when she refused to strip naked for a full body search. Atena says that they knew about her taking the cups because they had installed cameras in the toilet and bathroom facilities – cameras detainees had been told were not operating.”

She was released in November and gave media interviews and posted a video on YouTube detailing her beatings, constant interrogations and humiliating body searches. She was then rearrested possibly in retaliation for speaking out and has been imprisoned ever since. In January, Atena went on a hunger strike to protest the horrible prison conditions. Her health suffered dramatically, and after losing consciousness and suffering a heart attack in February, she was forced to eat again.

The quote used in the comic is taken from the speech Atena gave at her trial. It has been translated into English by the Free Atena Facebook page. You can read the whole thing here.

Time is now against her, she has just two weeks to lodge an appeal. Michael Cavna, comic journalist for The Washington Post, has launched a campaign appealing to artists to help bring awareness to Atena’s case by creating their own artwork in support of Atena and using the hashtag#Draw4Atena. Can a bunch of artists and a hashtag really make a difference and put pressure on the Iranian Government to release Atena? Probably not. But just remember that Atena is currently in prison enduring horrible conditions, and if her appeal isn’t successful, she will be there for another twelve years. FOR DRAWING A CARTOON AND POSTING IT ON FACEBOOK. Don’t we owe it to her to at least try?

Alot worse actually happens out there.. once Being a soldier (which turned me into an activist) showed me..

Signal boost.
